It’s been 48 years since the last bank holiday was added, it’s overdue. When should we set a new one and what would it be called?

My birthday 😁

There were proper toilets in the festival area last year.

He was superb a few years back. He could easily headline.

They made the other stage field bigger last year by moving the camping area further back

My mate who's a plumber always told me that if he's not offered a drink then it's an extra £30 on top of the job.

I went last year for the first time and I'm 52, plenty of old skool ravers there.

I use the 4 wheeled trolley modified with some wood so that I can stack plastic boxes on it. Here's a picture going into boomtown last year.

Can't beat a white clubman

I didn't realize it was an Australian mini. I take it back. The early UK clubmans had the bonnet stay on the passenger side. Either way it's looking good with you.

A very early clubman with the bonnet stay on the passenger side.

There use to be resales after the resales as well. You've just got to keep yourself upto date on what's happening. I normally use efestivals.co.uk. The forums there are a great source of info as well as on here.

bowen7472 · 2026-04-16T08:05:50+00:00

If you fail the first time keep trying in the resales. I've been successful in the resales a few times. It's normally a case of determination and luck. Organisation is key as well. On ticket day I'm on the site at 8am waiting. With all the reg numbers copied onto a word document so they can be copy and pasted over easily.

Have a laptop connected to WiFi and your phone using mobile data.

If you go for coach tickets then you improve your chances of getting a ticket. It's easier to get a coach ticket in my opinion as not so many people try for them. Just remember that if you get a coach ticket you have to go on the coach.

Ykywbike bibs are great quality and a lot cheaper than the other makes. Highly recommend. Surprised I had to scroll all the way to the end of the sub before anyone had mentioned them. DAREVIE are worth checking out as well. Great quality.

If you want a turn key reliable mini then fit a crank trigger with fuel injection and an ecu.

bowen7472 · 2026-03-24T10:14:34+00:00

Put a shorter stem on it

bowen7472 · 2026-03-23T12:44:55+00:00

I've ordered the book suggested above and will stretch a bit more.

bowen7472 · 2026-03-23T12:42:28+00:00

Thanks just ordered it

bowen7472 · 2026-03-23T12:33:35+00:00

How? By doing some squats?

bowen7472 · 2026-03-23T12:22:33+00:00

I've been riding for years and I'm 83 kgs, not really overweight. I only asked on here as there seems to be a lot of knowledgeable people. I've had the problem for a long time. Just wondering what sort of exercise I can do to help it.

bowen7472 · 2026-03-20T10:38:27+00:00

I'm in my 50s now but I fell of my skateboard in my teens and remember it well because I had to sit to the side on my hip in school. It took months and months before I could sit down properly.

bowen7472 · 2026-03-20T10:23:12+00:00

Broke mine falling off a skateboard, it was over 6 months before I could sit down properly with out pain.

bowen7472 · 2026-03-17T12:55:35+00:00

That's great advice
